The Richardson Police Department is hosting its third annual interactive Public Safety Expo on Saturday, Sept. 9, 2017 from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. at the Richardson Civic Center.

The Public Safety Expo is a free family friendly event for anyone interested in getting a closer look at police and fire operations as well as learning how to make their home and neighborhood safer.

The Public Safety Expo provides an opportunity for an up close look at the various vehicles used by first responders and see demonstrations by some of our operational units. It also helps us to educate the public in a fun and interactive way. The Richardson Police Department Crime Prevention Unit will be available to provide valuable safety information, and discuss volunteer opportunities within the Department. There will also be police and fire vehicles to view, along with a scheduled visit from an air medical helicopter.
Event activities will include demonstrations from, K9 and SWAT officers, visits from McGruff the Crime Dog mascot, “Nat” the National Night Out Knight mascot, face painting, a bounce house and more. Refreshments will also be available for purchase. Additionally, representatives from the City of Richardson’s Emergency Management Department, Richardson Fire Department, Home Depot, PHI Air Medical, North Texas Auto Theft Task Force, and more will be on-hand to display safety and security products and materials.
